berntd, just a thought... Recently I had issues with BIAB playing and failed renderings. I tried switching drivers, etc. Nothing helped. I did factory settings reset and that solved it.
If it was not suggested earlier, maybe try it? It takes less than a minute and it does not involve reinstalling software. If you want to give it a shot: Options->Return to factory settings.
One other thing you can try is loading Windows with minimal set of driver/program load and see if issue persists. Also upping the buffer on Asio4All...
Your initial post shows your computer has 136 active tasks - this is far to many - a well trimmed win 7 computer only has between 45 to 55 tasks running. It does not have time to do justice to Biab. Why have chrome running at the same time? close it. What else is running unnecessarily? Stop all programs you are not using. See if that makes a difference.
No, hang on, I may have misunderstood that at the time. That was related to the resource testing. I did that by killing the running VST in task manager and it did not fix the issue. I replied to that further up.
This problem is a bug of sorts. I suspect something that should not, is sending rubbish on MIDI and Cakewalk is reacting to it.
Can you reproduce it?

With the problem invoked in Blue Skies, as above, I added a Melody with a few notes. This Melody is MIDI and uses the Cakewalk VST. As soon as the first melody note plays, the problem stops and it works normally thereafter. This also seems repeatable at the moment.

I tried your files in your order and could not find a fault - even tried adding an intro and changing key but everything worked fine. I still beleive that your processor has to much going on. Give the processor an even chance and I think it will work - could try resetting biab to factory defaults.

Hi Keith, did you test it with the CakeWalk VST?

I agree. As well as the VirtualMIDISynth, SQLSERVR is also running, taking a fair chunk of RAM (about 250Mb). If some of those processes didn't need to run, the system might perform better.

Have just set x64 cakewalk TTS-1 as midi synth and running your schedule I experience no problems at all. Everything fine. Hope you soon resolve your problems. (also had firefox running)

Thank you Keith. Greatly appreciated! I have no idea why there are those MIDI messages occurring over here.

User Video: Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!

Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
Wir waren fleißig und haben über 50 neue Funktionen und eine erstaunliche Sammlung neuer Inhalte hinzugefügt, darunter 222 RealTracks, neue RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, "Songs with Vocals" Artist Performance Sets, abspielbare RealTracks Set 3, abspielbare RealDrums Set 2, zwei neue Sets von "RealDrums Stems", XPro Styles PAK 6, Xtra Styles PAK 17 und mehr!

Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
